Missing Mobile

Maybe some of you have tried sending a message to my phone or even try to call me in the few last days and failed. I have lost my phones, both of them. My lovely Palm Treo 650 and my Nokia which I use for my CDMA (fren) number are both gone in the hand of a stealer. The story is pretty interesting really, coz I lost my phones in my car. The story started when I hit a motorbike or a motorbike hit me. The car and the motorbike was actually alright, but it's just in my nature to panic like crazy. I got out of the car and the person was like yelling and telling me off and there was this person who just got into our conversation as well. I was soo panic and almost burst out in tears. The motorbike was alright and my car was alright too. Both of the people who talked to me went and I was on my way to go too. Suddenly, I realised that my phone went missing and burst out in tears again (crybaby!!! =P). I went back home.. and cried my heart out.
My Mum said everyone has to lose a mobile phone once in a while because it's just everywhere and phone-stealers just keep getting better and better in their way of stealing so sometimes we just can't avoid them. She continued with her old usual saying of "It's okay as long as you are safe.." (That's what she always say everytime I put scratch or bump or do anything to ruin my Honda Jazz). On the other hand, my Dad told me off for hasn't been synchronizing my data for such a long time. "What's the point of having a PDA if you don't synchronize it regularly!," he said.
Letting my Palm Treo go is sad but reliefing in the same time. It is sad just like a goodbye with an old friend that you know you will never meet again. It's true that my Palm Treo has been the witness of everything I did for the past one year. I never have to delete any single message I recieved since I got it and it has records of everything I did for the past one year. It has more data than my laptop.
On the other hand, losing a phone is nice if you really think about it. I realised before losing my phone I always get annoyed with phone calls or messages and yes I almost got in some point when I feel like throwing my phone away. I used to put my mobile away in a drawer or just simply do not reply messages or do not answer phonecalls if I don't feel like it but I don't do that anymore because I consider it as a dishonest act. If I don't feel like answering someone's call, I should have just answer it and say that I don't feel like talking to you, but of course I don't have the heart to say that. The conclusion is that losing my phone is like a way of get the hell of those messages and phone calls without feeling guilty. It's also reliefing because it's like you drop your past. Whatever happened in the past just go and you will start a new time where you rebuild your life and network.
Those are my story, and today my time of missing mobile has ended. My Mum bought my dream mobile phone which is the lucious red Palm 680, therefore her old Palm650 (which is exactly the same type as my old mobile) belongs to me and I already got the same Nokia phone for my Fren number. Both of them are active now. Anyone is welcome to contact me again. It's time to rebuild life and network for me.
